How about if the stars in the sky are moved so that they spell out a message. The actual and original and complete inerrant text of God’s word as He handed it down to humans, in every language, each version being complete, true, inerrant and authentic.

While this would be a miracle, it doesn’t add any new information. YECs say that they already know this stuff, so there would be no issues of free-will violation. The degree of difficulty is such that no conceivable non-supernatural life-form could do it. It would be impossible to fake, and every human with sight would be able to see it. No human derives an economic benefit from it, so God isn’t playing favorites or enriching particular individual humans. Stars are not used for navigation much, so there wouldn’t be danger of ships getting lost at sea.

Already there. Steganography. Pray harder, perhaps with a little anoxia, and all will be revealed.

@Frank Cornish: Don’t forget, the pages of the Koran (or The God Delusion) which were underneath the cracker can appear as a Holy Shroud.

@Greg: I think you misinterpret The Word on that page though. They’re obviously praying for Miguelito Loveless to perfect his latest Doomsday Machine. We all know Dr. Loveless is godless, and what could be better than the godless bringing on the Rapture?

Rich Wilson presents some logic on that subject:
So either the atheist is converted, and can’t lie about it, or the atheist is not converted, in which case lying and saying they were converted would serve no purpose.

(and the response)
Trouble is, lying and saying he was converted would serve the purpose of making God look foolish. God does not like to be made to look foolish; that’s why many countries have blasphemy laws, to protect Him from such things.

About this blog

The science is mostly climate change, life science, evolution, and science education. The science policy and politics is mostly about climate change and the evolution-creationism false controversy. The technology is mostly about Linux, regular normal person computer use, kids programming, and now and then, household items.

As an Anthropologist and Africanist, I often write about those topics as well.

Usually, I write about one or two topics for a while then shift to something different. This is not systematic, and has to do with context and external forces such as: Is this a presidential election year? Are we having an El Nino? Is there a fight going on somewhere about teaching creationism in a public school? Did I just get a cool new robot toy? Like that.

So, if you don't find the most recent few posts interesting, have a look at the topics below. But, of course, chances are you got here with a Google search and you'll never read this "about" thing.
